Dec. 31, 2012
Consolidation of Sponsored Investment Products | 19. Consolidation of Sponsored Investment Products In the normal course of its business, the Company sponsors and is the manager of various types of investment products. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sponsored and consolidated several mutual funds in which it had a majority voting interest. The consolidation of these investment products has no impact on net income attributable to stockholders. The Company’s risk with respect to these investments is limited to its investment in these products. The Company has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, these investment products, beyond the Company’s investments in, and fees generated from them. If the Company were to liquidate, these investments would not be available to the general creditors of the Company. The Company does not consider cash and cash equivalents and investments held by consolidated sponsored investment products to be assets of the Company other than its direct investment in these products. The following tables reflect the impact of the consolidated sponsored investment products in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 and the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively:
